I offered EC10 $20 to play this tournament and dare Harrah's to kick him out (due to being a dude and all). He politely declined. Wonder if anyone will have the balls (hurf) to attempt it this year?

At one point I was planning to crash the senior's event this year (hey, 33 is basically the new 50 in poker), but some friends convinced me that it's douchey and bad for the game.

why do guys want to play this?
is it an attention thing?
mocking the females (we are guys, we are better!)
i just dont get why guys cant let the chicks have their event for themselves.
gotta be an "everyone, look at me!" thing.

Apparently Harrah's is trying to intimidate the guys from not playing:

Quote:

Male players attempting to reg for ladies event are being searched by Harrahs staff in an attempt to intimidate them.

Something that will get them banned from the WSOP I guess.

*TT*'s tweeting that you should only carry legal ID and your player's card.

From Trishelle of the Real World:

Quote:

They just made an announcement at #WSOP apologizing for guys playing in the ladies event. One guy has full on drag. Amazing

More from Shaun Deeb:

Is there actual legal precedent that they can't exclude men or does the WSOP just have no guts?

obviously, but its the ladies event. let them play. its a huge douche move for a guy to play. its classless and disrespectful and shows you have very little humility. also, shaun cant help but make everything all about him. its always "me me me me me" with him. its ridiculous and once again, classless.

Last year a guy won the WSOP-C Ladies' event at Lake Tahoe.

From Nolan Dalla's tournament report of that event:

Quote:

The WSOP isn’t a political organization and can’t be expected to get involved in debates about sexism, discrimination, or other polarizing issues which may be applicable to poker tournaments. While the WSOP makes a sincere effort to promote women in poker and offers quasi-exclusive tournaments designed to increase female participation in the game, officials generally do not turn away those who want to play in the event, based solely on gender. In short, the WSOP hopes that by offering and supporting ladies-only poker tournaments and providing an event for which there is considerable interest (by women), others (namely men) will respect and understand the spirit of competition.

Can't tell if you're serious or not...

I mean I guess it's pretty funny when Shaundeeb dresses in full drag etcetc, but anyone who is actually thinking of playing because it is good value is a str8 up ******.
